Hi! I guess this is the section where I talk about myself? (So awkward!)

I grew up in NYC, had a cool job in advertising and marketing, and quit to travel around the world. I usually have a smile on my face and an optimistic outlook on life (which apparently are very American traits!) I like exploring and learning over food.. and the more than occasional drink :) Now I`m back home and want to pass on the kindness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's the best way to meet locals :) And I'm also on a budget!

Interests

Travel (duh), current events, politics, hip-hop,.. and people in general

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite music: hip-hop (I'm from Queens!)
Favorite movies: City of God, Slumdog Millionaire,
Favorite Books: Harry Potter series (#nerd), The Outsiders, , Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, The Razor's Edge, A Visit from the Goon Squad,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quit my job to travel?? Does that count? If not... then... umm.. not collapsing when i hiked macchu pichu? Or learning to "surf" in Cape Town?! Or traveling to Palestine and couchsurfing with an amazing family (sadly.. given the political situation.. it's considered "amazing" though it should just be normal!) Not dying in an 13 hour train ride from Montenegro to Serbia without air conditioning??

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not sure what to put here.. I'll just share my terrible jokes, teach you weird things about American culture (like describing J Swipe, the Jewish tinder) and i'll learn how to say "you have a nice butt" in your language because who doesn't like to be complimented on their bottom?

What I Can Share with Hosts

My infectious personality, terrible jokes anddddd a bottle of wine :)
